A Mount FS is a virtual filesystem which can seamlessly map sub-directories on to other filesystems
Lets say we have two filesystems containing config files and resources respectively:
[config_fs]
|-- config.cfg
`-- defaults.cfg
[resources_fs]
|-- images
| |-- logo.jpg
| `-- photo.jpg
`-- data.dat
We can combine these filesystems in to a single filesystem with the following code:
from fs.mountfs import MountFS
combined_fs = MountFS()
combined_fs.mount('config', config_fs)
combined_fs.mount('resources', resources_fs)
This will create a filesystem where paths under
config/
map to config_fs
, and paths under resources/
map to resources_fs
:[combined_fs]
|-- config
| |-- config.cfg
| `-- defaults.cfg
`-- resources
|-- images
| |-- logo.jpg
| `-- photo.jpg
`-- data.dat
Now both filesystems may be accessed with the same path structure:
print(combined_fs.gettext('/config/defaults.cfg'))
read_jpg(combined_fs.open('/resources/images/logo.jpg', 'rb')
